I would guess that Open Look will arrive on SCO with SVR4.  Its
the same story at INTERACTIVE.  To get it today, I think you have
to switch to AT&T's X; something I've had to seriously consider myself.

[ Now, would that be a third party UNIX (SCO's) hosting AT&T's X, or
would it be a third party X (AT&T's) hosted under SCO's UNIX? :-) ]

BTW, I share your feelings Re: Motif's look and feel, and there's some
solid technical reasons to not like it, and a some damn good market
share reasons to go with Open Look (Sun and AT&T).  On the other hand,
IBM's new RISC machines are a very convincing reason to go with what
big blue will use.
